Album: For You Vs. Prince

Both of them has a little disco feel 2 it. That's cool. When U think about it, it's still the 70's. "For You"-1978 and "Prince"-1979. I enjoy For You better bcuz I just like the songs more than on the Prince album. For You has the track "Crazy U". Now that track is hot, short as hell but still hot. On the Prince album U have "Y U wannna treat me so bad", the guitar solo is fire, 1 of his best solos on record. I C a lot of U like the song "Bambi" and "Sexy Dancer" I think. "I wanna B Ur lover" was a hit and so was "Soft and Wet" was a minor hit 4 his 1st record. "Im Your's" on the For You record is also a track of the future of his rock/funk and what was 2 come later. I'm 4 "For U" cuz of the hot track "Crazy U" and "I'm your's", the funky and guitar solo. Some of the other songs on the Prince album R kinda borin'. Which 1 do U dig the most.


Thank U
Peace Always

It's hard to choose...there are moments on each I really like. I certainly like the cover of the first better. But I think I like Prince better than For You.

Prince, hands-down. Prince's songwriting and musicianship drastically improve on this album.

Each album did improve with the next....

'For You' because of 'Crazy You'


'Prince' because of 'Sexy Dancer'...

Both songs caught my attention.... biggrin

For me, it's not even close. "Prince" is by far the superior album. Better written songs, better produced album. Even P has said that he needed a hit album after his first album. He considered this one to be it.

I really really like For You -- but I don't think it's even in my Top 10 fav Prince albums.
Prince, on the other hand, is in my top 3 or 4 fav Prince albums. It's gorgeous all around!!

Like most,if not all of Prince's albums during the first 10 years or so, the second album was only an improvent of the first. Lord, how I wish he'd play more songs from it because there's some really good stuff there!

I don`t like any of those albums but Crazy You are beautiful.
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

nod All those songs are so great. It took me a few years to really realize how fantastic the hooks were on that album. Oh, and "Bambi"? That song ROCKS!

Man, those songs Uh.. Wack. The only good 1 is "I wanna Be your lover". and I like "Why U wanna treat me so bad". I just cant get in2 the those songs as the songs on For You.

I like the one he saw fit to give his own name. He was obviously proud of it (at some point at least) and for good reason.
